What does this research mean for the field?

Multiple climate-related hazards collectively constrain coastal livelihoods in Bangladesh, but specific agricultural and aquaculture adaptations can build resilience if significant infrastructural, institutional, and financial barriers are addressed through cross-sectoral governance. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.SYNTHESIS. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

Evaluate the combined impacts of rapid- and slow-onset climate hazards on coastal livelihoods and identify locally viable adaptation practices alongside institutional, community, and financial constraints.

Implication

Qualitative synthesis reveals multi-hazard threats to agriculture and aquaculture in coastal communities, highlighting the need for scalable adaptation strategies and institutional support.

Key Points

Evaluate the combined impacts of rapid- and slow-onset climate hazards on coastal livelihoods and identify locally viable adaptation practices alongside institutional, community, and financial constraints.
Synthesized evidence from published peer-reviewed literature across four dimensions: climate hazard impacts, livelihood vulnerabilities, adaptation practices, and structural constraints.
Conducted qualitative field validation using open-ended questionnaires administered to coastal farmers (N=30) in Bangladesh, complemented by a SWOT assessment of adaptation strategies.
Multiple compounding hazards—including salinity intrusion, cyclones, storm surges, flooding, and shifting rainfall patterns—collectively suppress agricultural and aquaculture productivity, driving livelihood insecurity.
Locally adopted practices, including salt-tolerant crop cultivation, sorjan farming, freshwater conservation, and pond-dyke vegetable cultivation, provide viable resilience pathways but remain hindered by limited infrastructure and financial resources.
Widespread implementation requires institutional cross-sectoral governance integrating agriculture, fisheries, disaster management, local government, and non-governmental organizations.
